Michael Reese hospital opened in 1881 on 29 th Street and Ellis Ave, on the edge of Chicago’s Bronzeville neighborhood. The first condition was more readily achieved than the second. Reese’s brother-in-law, Jacob Rosenberg, directed Reese’s wealth to establish a Jewish hospital in Chicago on two conditions: that the hospital be named after Michael Reese, and that it would treat all patients, regardless of race, religion, or nationality. Michael Reese, a wealthy German immigrant, left his fortune to his family to distribute to charity. In the 1870’s, Chicago’s Jewish community included two primary groups: middle- and upper-class German Jews living on the Southside and impoverished Jews living on the Westside who were recent immigrants from Eastern Europe. The Jewish community of Chicago founded Michael Reese Hospital and the attached nursing school primarily to serve Jewish Chicagoans, but the institution’s location on the Southside facilitated a complex and significant relationship with Chicago’s Black community.

While some Americans favored immigration, many opposed it, and responded during the 1920s by pressing for a tightening of the nation’s borders. They also entered into a political climate that was charged by the sweeping immigration restrictions placed on the Chinese in 1882 through the Chinese Exclusion Act.
